    When flashing the R4 bios must you have Enduro enabled?

    The motherboard BIOS or the VBIOS?

    I guess he means the system BIOS released by Dell. If that's the case, then I'm not sure if it matters either way. For the record, I flashed with Enduro OFF with no issues.

    True. But if he's flashing VBIOS, it MAY be a different story (0.0001% chance it will need to be enabled, but anything is possible with AMD).
